American Health Care Academy Volunteers Participate in Dallas Partnership Walk to Take a Step in Ending Global Poverty Dallas, Texas, October 4, 2008 – American Health Care Academy partnered with and actively took part in this year's Dallas Partnership Walk, an initiative of Aga Khan Foundation U.S.A., held at the Dallas City Hall Plaza. More than 4,500 participants attended to walk three kilometers to support the annually held event that raises awareness and funds to alleviate global poverty. American Health Care Academy volunteers were amongst the scores of teams from corporations, universities, schools and other community organizations. Academy youth volunteers helped in the Village in Action, where participants have an opportunity to engage in activities and learn how people in developing countries create solutions to overcome challenges of low income, poor health conditions and limited educational opportunities. Through volunteerism and sponsorship American Health Care Academy supports the 2008 theme for the Walk, Planting Our Future." As the Foundation embraces the principle of helping people to help themselves, American Health Care Academy strengthens its commitment to reach out to train and certify as many as possible in CPR and First Aid. Caption: Youth volunteers for the Academy take part in this year's Walk to gain a deeper understanding of global citizenship and social responsibility. Partnership Walk, now in its 14th year in the U.S., is a PartnershipsInAction initiative giving individuals the opportunity to actively take part in advancing human dignity and peace around the globe through volunteerism, awareness-raising and contributions. PartnershipsInAction represent Aga Foundation U.S.A.'s (AKF USA) growing portfolio of programs. Since 1995, PartnershipsInAction events have attracted over 250,000 participants and raised over $29 million nationwide.
